Excellent Eighty-word challenge This Happened at a Baby Shower by Tom Horonzy 80 Word Flash Fiction writing prompt entry

I saw a baby on the floor. The little child was but two feet tall. Even that is my best guess, for she had fallen flat on her chin, likely when her knees gave in as she began to crawl. The reason why? I do surmise it was her effort to move too fast, causing the infant to blow a gasket. Anyone could tell because of the smell from her rear end that she hied to go while leaking gas.  Writing Prompt Write a story of 80 words. not including the title. Any subject accepted.
